Put the dilapidated wooden puppet on the small alchemy table, and the rest of the work is to dissect it comprehensively and in detail.
Since it is difficult to decipher the mystery hidden in the puppet stone from the front, Greem can only change the angle. Starting from the traces left by the white smoke turned into puppet stone, we can see what kind of miraculous changes have taken place in this pile of "garbage" after the wooden puppet was born with primary intelligence and became Billy.
If the crude body of the wooden puppet is regarded as a computer hardware, then Baiyan is a software operating system that integrates all resources. The only thing Greem is curious about is whether these white smoke with elementary intelligence is a kind of witchcraft effect, or the soul of a creature that has undergone memory cleaning and processing!
Yes, Greem was highly suspicious when he conducted the first puppet stone test. These white smokes were probably the soul fragments extracted from some intelligent creatures by the Silver Alliance. And to achieve such a level of intelligence, I am afraid that only those humanoid creatures can do it.
For example, the native 'humans' of the lesser planes...
The price of a low-level puppet stone in the Silver Alliance is 15 magic crystals. As for some underground black markets, it may have reached 40 magic crystals. Greem calculated that, considering that the soul strength of indigenous humans is slightly weaker than that of ordinary people in the wizarding world, a low-level puppet stone may need to extract the souls of 3-5 indigenous humans to successfully create it.
These indigenous humans are not worth much in the secondary plane, and it is not uncommon for 1 magic crystal to buy thousands of ordinary slaves.
But it's a pity that only those slaves with strange abilities and special talents are worthy of being brought back to the wizarding world, otherwise their value is not worth the basic cost of cross-plane ultra-long-distance transmission. Therefore, in the Wizarding Continent, it is rare to see war slaves from different planes.
But few doesn't mean none.
The master builders and blacksmiths of the dwarves, the gourmets of the halflings, the handsome men and women of the elves, the elves of the goblin world, and the five-color dragons that are most suitable as flying magic pets... Even in the wizard towers of many powerful wizards, It also raises some 'slaves' such as succubi, erinia, and dark elves from the lower planes.
These superb 'slaves' are hot 'commodities' even in the wizarding world. If a sub-plane occupied by a wizard family can find these racial creatures with special abilities, they can make a lot of money just by selling slaves.
But for those secondary planes, the largest number is still the native creatures without special skills. These ordinary creatures are worthless at all, and if they are sold to the wizarding world, the magic crystals sold may not be worth the travel expenses. Therefore, the usual practice is to force them to mine and create benefits for the wizard family as much as possible.
If, like the Silver Alliance, it is possible to directly establish a puppet stone manufacturing factory inside the secondary plane, and convert the huge population resources of the alien plane into alchemy creations that are easy to transport and have higher added value, then the Silver Alliance will definitely be able to usurp it. Ten times, or even a hundred times the benefits.
After all, in the wizarding world, mass murder is strictly prohibited. It is only possible to do such an inhumane thing on an unsupervised secondary plane!
Relying on the super data scanning and analysis capabilities of the chip, Greem finally found signs of soul invasion in the wooden puppet. This also confirmed his previous guess from the side.
The Silver Alliance has been doing brutal and bloody things in the secondary plane it occupies!
However, Greem didn't intend to criticize anything.
After all, all wizarding families are doing similar things, but to different degrees!
Perhaps it is precisely because of these factors that the wizarding world is classified as an evil camp, and wizards have naturally become evil creatures that the world fears.
After studying the composition and operation mechanism of the puppet stone, it still doesn't help Greem much. After all, the puppet stone is just an auxiliary, and its greatest effect lies in the white smoke of the soul stored in it. As for soul science, Greem didn't study much. So he still couldn't understand how those esoteric wizards completed the series of work of soul extraction, refining, cleaning, and infusion storage.
These tasks seem to be only good at those necromancers who specialize in soul science!
Could it be that the Silver Alliance hired a large number of necromancers to work for them? Or did they invent some kind of machine capable of such intricate and delicate work
There are too many possibilities, perhaps only by sneaking into the puppet stone manufacturing workshops of the Silver Alliance on the secondary planes can it be possible to obtain completely true first-hand information.
However, the major organizations have always sealed off the secondary planes under their control extremely tightly. If you don't join their family or sign a soul contract, how difficult it is to sneak in!
This can be known from the Sarubo family's control over the knight plane.
No matter what Greem said, he was already regarded as the internal wizard of the Sarubo family, and he also made great achievements in the process of conquering the knight plane. But once he chooses to quit the knight plane, the coordinates of the plane where the knight plane is located will be "taken back".
In Greem's mind, even with the help of a chip, he still couldn't recall the location of the knight plane. In this way, the Sarubo family doesn't have to worry about leaking out the coordinates of the secondary plane that they have huge interests in.
In the last battle in the Dark Forest, Greem killed two wizards, and found some valuable witchcraft notes and books from them. Through scanning, summarizing and organizing the contents inside, Greem once again confirmed his future development path.
He has already elementalized his body, but this is only semi-elemental after all. If Greem wants to successfully attack the second-level wizard, then the spiritual elementalization is a preparatory work that he must complete.
The chip's evaluation of this matter is that Greem can only complete the spiritual elementalization after nearly a hundred years of precipitation. Moreover, this long journey must rely on some special environments in nature, such as lava volcanoes...
So during this period of time, Greem has also been constantly flipping through the map of the Sandi Tallinn area, looking for a suitable place to live in seclusion. But before that, he still needs to deal with Alice's affairs first.
After all, Alice's Fate Witch talent is also an ability that he values very much. If he can succeed, Alice will also occupy a very important position in his life plan in the future!
...
After leaving the laboratory, Greem received a witchcraft message from the wizard Korgan.
All the resources prepared for Alice's promotion to the wizard have been fully deployed. As long as Alice is ready, the promotion ceremony can be held at any time. And of course Greem needs to pay for all of this!
It didn't take much time for someone to knock on the door of the residence.
Greem opened the door and found that the person who came was Mai Guta, a male quasi-wizard under the wizard Korgan.
Behind him was a group of ordinary apprentices, carrying large and small wooden boxes in their hands.
"Master Greem, these are the advancement resources that Master Korgan ordered me to send to you. Please check them!"
Holding that long list of resources, Greem felt his eyes get wet.
Destiny, that's how it fucks!
Back then, his promotion was in dire straits, and if his luck was a little bit worse, he might become the target of other people's blood sacrifice. But now, Alice only needs to stay in the room to eat and drink, and keep her body fat and fat, and Greem, the 'master', will take care of the rest.
This is probably the difference in fate!
Feeling secretly in his heart, Greem finally stabilized his mood, carefully counted the list of resources and items, and then smoothly signed the bond, sending the other party away.
With just such a big stroke, Greem's net worth instantly shrank by 1/3 when the witchcraft mark was branded on it. Whoever made Alice so alive belonged to his personal 'things', so the Sarubo family was not obliged to bear this expensive promotion fee for him.
Besides, even if Wizard Korgan wanted to bear the promotion fee for Alice, Greem would not agree.
Alice must first be his 'person', and secondly, she can belong to the ranks of wizards of the Sarubo family.
Greem must insist on this point at any time!
At this time, the apprentices belonging to Greem's department also rushed over upon hearing the news.
They came just in time, and Greem also handed over the post-processing work of these resources to them.
Salo fruit, a special fruit produced in the wild forest. After processing and eating, it can enhance the physical vitality of living individuals in a short period of time without any sequelae.
Protozoa, a strange bug cultivated by witchcraft. Swallowing it before promotion can significantly improve mental toughness, and it is also a rare auxiliary resource for promotion.
Stink potion, a witchcraft potion that uses the method of burning life potential to enhance mental power.
The water of life, a kind of strange thing from the elves from other worlds, can nourish the severely lacking vitality after the promotion ceremony.
…
…
The resources sent by the Sarubo family are overwhelming, each of which is a very targeted and precious resource, which has a great auxiliary effect on advancing wizards.
However, these resources are all sealed in a special witch formation to avoid the loss of their effectiveness. So if you want to use it, you can only unblock it temporarily, and then process them according to the fixed process.
Greem handed over these complicated tasks to his apprentices.
And he started to calculate Alice's promotion ceremony wholeheartedly!
Summarizing all kinds of information and information, and taking into account the effects of various auxiliary resources, the success rate of the chip projected in his mind is 67.71%.
Even if Alice has an outstanding talent that is difficult for outsiders, even if Alice has so many precious resources, even if Alice has the blessing of the halo of the Witch of Destiny... But when all these add up, her probability of success in promotion is barely more than half.
From this point, we can see how difficult it is to successfully advance from a quasi-wizard to a wizard in the wizarding world!
When everything was ready, Alice also adjusted her mentality and spirit, and prepared to enter the secret room with the resources and ritual items that Greem had prepared for her.
In order to prevent people from noticing the abnormality on her body, Alice had to put on a robe to cover up half of her body that had lost its physical form of existence.
At the door, she accepted the blessings of Ke Daer, Meryl, Amn, Torre and Linna.
"Elder Sister, you will definitely succeed!" Ke Daer, as one of Greem's two quasi-shamans, was the first to step forward to express his blessing.
"You will definitely become a beautiful witch!" Meryl whispered in Alice's ear.
To be a quasi-witch and become a wizard is a sublimation of the essence of life. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Alice also had the opportunity to break through the seal of fate and free herself from the state where her body was forever sealed at the moment of awakening at the age of eight.
"Elder Sister, I will call you Master Wizard next time we meet..." Amn grinned silly.
"I have faith in you..." Tollie shouted from the sidelines.
"It must be successful!" Linna shot a hot look of envy in her eyes.
Followed by Goblin Kirby hastily arrived.
This guy actually brought Alice a wooden sculpture that looked exactly like a female goblin, and insisted that it was a lucky gift from the goblin family.
After all, promotion was a big deal, and any unknown items that might affect the ceremony could not be brought in, so Greem directly confiscated the wood carvings.
Alice stood at the door and looked around before turning her eyes to Greem.
"I'm waiting for you!" Greem's blessing was simple and direct.
Alice nodded, turned around and walked firmly into the secret room.
